I used to think chiptunes were invented by a guy named chip. whose line is it anyway taught me that's the sort of thing americans are called, and I figured that they came from america.

I have a special fondness for a local museum called Trapholt.

Wow. Not even trying to hide it anymore are they

And in most (US) libraries you don’t need a card to read the books, just to take them out of the library. You can just read them there; they even have cozy seats and quiet rooms for study.

Same here. Rock on :)

Nyyyeeeehhh, that's really shweet of ya, shheee? Sorry I didn't see this soonah, capiche?

There are dozens of us. Here on this forum even

Which is your favourite museum you visited?

Well sure, I don't know why I had this impression, maybe I was thinking of the UK? Sorry everyone... And I had wrote museums specifically because I saw this post that was like, you don't wanna go to target to shop, you just want to look at things, go to a museum instead. And I was like huh. Were it that going to a museum was cheaper than buying a few knick-knacks here ... Public parks are another topic, which are wonderful ofc :)) in this area my country is doing okay since there are a lot of well maintained and singposted hiking trails. Even if we lack the geographical and biodiversity of the US

me too thanks

oh yeah? well we love you.

I put on a really cool front, what with how tough and strong I am, and funny and always right, but deep down, I too am cringe. 😔

in some ways you are lucky that your cringe is not obvious to the people around you. anyone can clock that i'm cringe from the way that i look and talk and exist

I am fortunate to live in Denmark which also has free libraries, and while most museums are still pay to enter, the prices aren't that bad.

Public libraries are just about free (a library card only costs a couple dollars), but in general our museums cost money. The Smithsonian and the Crystal Bridges are the only large museums I can think of off the top of my head that have free admission. I think state and national parks would be a better example of free public spaces.

non-american here but i've downloaded libby before and they let you access some libraries without a card/proof of us address

It is one of the things I like and use a lot. I'm sorry you don't have accessible museums or libraryes :(

We have an app called Libby which is not sustainable for several reasons, but for now, lets you access ebooks and audibooks in your local library's catalogue.

It's also one of the things I'm afraid of losing. The fourth reich is here, we have book burnings, we have libraries under immense fascist pressure, and I am worried that libraries could even stop existing entirely.

Most museums here are not free, but most of them are not prohibitively expensive. (Usually, only popular museums in dense cities are expensive, and even then, those usually start at around $30, with discounts available. They make most of their money in the gift shop.)

There's a lot to be grateful for-- I could list a thousand things right now. I think capitalists defend capitalism by looking at how much worse things can be, while leftists are unified by looking at how much better things can be. We have so much wealth that we want to hold on just to ourselves and even then it's utterly wasted.

Which leaves us taking a lot for granted. Plumbing is a modern miracle. Your post resonated with me a lot and I appreciate it, and I'm sorry again you don't have access to these things.

cool movie

communism is when everything feels like the inside of a Trader Joe's

capitalism is when everything feels like the inside of a Wal Mart

Oh, that? That wasn't me.

"Yes we are"
